IIHE invited seminar: From GERDA to LEGEND: a view inside two high sensitivity probes on the neutrino nature and mass

by Dr Cattadori Carla Maria ( INFN Milano Bicocca), Dr Francesco Salamida (INFN, University of Aquila)

Friday 25 Sept 2020, 14:00 → 15:00 Europe/Brussels

Zoom (IIHE (ULB-VUB))

Abstract: GERDA (Germanium Detector Array) operated from 2010 to late 2019 at Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso, searching for  0nbb  of 76Ge, and attained the sensitivity of 100 meV on the neutrino mass. The final results and the setup features and performances will be discussed. In 2020 LEGEND took over the GERDA mission and facilities to further increase the Ge target mass and improve the setup performances to gain a factor >10 on the half-life sensitivity. The new features and will be reviewed.
